Take time to explore all the customization options, and stat combinations.

(Also, this game was a collaboration between crackerblocks and myself. I don't quite understand how jam entries work on LD, not sure how to mark that / vote on crud. I'll be playing other peoples entries, even if I can't figure out how to vote on them!)

Now I can't vote (Jam member but not submitter) but I like the presentation and the quote at the start. I'm in the same basket as you, I was on a team, but not the lead for programming.

"Evolving" the random PC is quite cute! The mutate button is even funnier. They just get progressively more fucked up looking, haha.

Wow, I won't spoil it, but that is the BEST ending ever. This reminds me SO much of Increpare's RaRa Racer. http://www.increpare.com/2008/12/rara-racer/

Not to be a wet blanket, but it don't really amuse me. I seem to be in a minority there, but defying expectations leaves a sour taste when the expectation being defied is 'have fun'. Sorry.

I enjoyed the music, though.

I have absolutely no idea what does it have to do with the theme. I loved the ending! And character customization, too ;)

Nice loading screen :D Am I missing something, or is the game missing something? I also don't understand, what the customizations do or how they affect anything ^^
